Form Issue: Cannot Submit
-
Hi There,
I am having an issue with Contact Form 7 on my website.
It is not allowing users to submit a form.
It throws an error “There was an error trying to send your message. Please try again later.” and it is encapsulated in a red box.Here is some background:
My domain is hosted by one company and the server is hosted by a second.
I originally built a site and stuffed something up and decided to start from scratch.
I followed this video to restore my HostGator server to start afresh.I reinstalled WordPress, I installed the Uncode theme, all the plugins, including Contact Form 7 and a few others that I wanted to try out. I decided upon Contact Form 7.
I have placed it on my site but after the new install, it no longer submits.
Previous to the new install, when a user submitted a form, it would be emailed to my outlook email. I believe it did this via PHP.
What I have tried:
I tried installing WP-MAIL-SMTP and using that tool to see if the email functionality works.
When I try PHP, it throws the error:
bool(false)
Could not instantiate mail function.
When I try SMTP, it throws the error:
My email is hosted on Office365 and I use the Office365 SMTP Host details along with my credentials. It communicates to Office365 host but my details fail authentication.I have spoken to my domain provider and they said that it isn’t an issue on their end.
I tried speaking to HostGator on live chat but they seem to think it isn’t their issue either.Can anyone help?
Thank you!
